Matt, 2 things with your ubers. Phonoa shouldn't be used on traitless stages, since his anti-traitless damage is quite poor, even though he melts traited enemies. Secondly, Black Zeus is a better anti-traitless than akuma. Akuma has a weird multi-hit that lowers his damage, while Black Zeus's long distance and high damage makes for a good traitless sniper unit. Even though akuma does more damage, Akuma usually rushes into backliners and dies, while Zeus stays alive much longer with his long distance.
The man doesnt level his Superfest units to 45 or 50 lol, if he knew how op Darktanyan and Dasli are around 45-50 then the game would be way easier for him. I mean shit his courier isnt 50 and his Ramen is still 30 with a bunch of plus levels 😂😂😂😂
Phonoa can easily be a useful unit for mixed traitless stages, even primarily traitless stages, his very high range and constant attacks make up for his poor sub 6k dps at level 45 on traitless. But yes, Matt has a few better choices for a replacement of phonoa. but by no means is he a bad choice.
Hope you will be able to collect Uril's true form, with it, he becomes among the best legend units in the game, his new abilities make him borderline broken.

Amazing Video Matt! Yesterday I beat all the Wahwah stages for the first time and unlocked glass cat and all its forms. And today I beat the Relic cyclone all three times as well and got future cat and beat Relic Bun Bun in An Ancient Curse. It was you who motivated me to keep playing this wonderful game, so thank you!
Floor 41 is the hardest floor in the infernal tower in my opinion i had to use 20 RICH CATS ON ONE ANNOYING LEVEL but the other 9 are kinda easy if you have lasvoss
Someone should tell Mattshea that the “warp blocker” ability doesn’t block everything behind catellite from getting warped it just means immune to warps
If you have Windy, I’d suggest using a gold catfruit for her ultra form (4th form). Either that or wait for something better to come down the line to spend your gold catfruit on because the current options aren’t that worth it unless you have excess gold catfruit
Akira: A Unit who is Once Again Relevant- A Dark Hero’s Journey (Preview) An Introduction As most of us are aware, Battle Cats has been out for over 10 years. With this, there have been changes in the way the game plays so it doesn’t become repetitive. Many of these involve increasing the power of our units. For example, True Forms generally give a unit better stats or a new use, catseyes can be used to increase the level cap, and Talents give units new skills if you invest in them. Unfortunately, with these ways in which you can improve your units, the difficulty of the game increased as well. If a unit received a bad true form and talents, it is easy for it to be lost in the old meta and unviable in the new one. Even some of the units who received great talents like Akira, the focal unit of this essay, eventually became redundant. With update 12.1 came a new method of increasing a unit’s combat potential, called ultratalents. Ultratalents are a super-high investment form of talents that can drastically change how usable a unit is. Let's see how it changed Akira. Version 4.0: Akira is added In version 4.0, Akira and the other 2 ubers in the dark heroes banner at the time were added to Battle Cats, along with Into the Future, Alien enemies, and other anti Alien units. At this point, Akira was one of five units built specifically to counter the new Alien trait. During this stage, his most useful form was his first form, which has a 50% chance to freeze aliens and an immunity to weaken. The ability to completely stop the movement of an enemy half the time with high uptime is a very strong ability, especially for a trait that has few counter units. Unluckily for Akira, another unit with freeze against Alien was added in the same update: Surfer Cat. Whereas surfer cat only has a 30% chance to freeze aliens from a shorter range, he has the benefit of being cheap with low cooldown, allowing the player to stack him and have overall more consistent procs when you have multiple. Akira’s weaken immunity doesn’t do much in this form either. As a proc unit, he isn’t built for damage. However, he does have his advantages over surfer/castaway and some good matchups. Three enemies from 4.0 where you would want to pick Akira over castaway (largely due to the range advantage) are IM Phace, Ursamajor, and Maawth. They are all backliner enemies, and backliners are what the alien trait is notorious for. Two of them have the freeze ability, so when they are frozen they cannot freeze your melee units. The last one, Ursamajor, is a strong backliner enemy who is capable of pushing fast. Akira’s Second Form: A lost Cause Whereas Akira’s first form was usable in 4.0 and was able to work in some places where castaway didn’t, Akira’s second form was a total disappointment. Akira loses his freeze ability and gains 50% increased damage when reaching 50% health. After being strengthened he still only has about 7.2k dps at level 30, which is far lower than that of specialist attackers. Although this dps is consistent for all enemies, he doesn’t have any specialist properties. Furthermore, this requires him to lose half his health, and his unstrengthened dps is similar to that of units like Bahamut Cat and Ururun Wolf. This form has remained practically useless until version 9.7. Version 5.0: A Solid True Form Akira was one of 26 units to receive a true form in version 5.0, when the first uber true forms were released. His true form had no stat changes, but his ability was once again switched. This time, he obtained strong vs alien and wave immunity. With this true form, he finally had good combat stats against his target trait, with 127k hp and 8.7k dps at level 30. He now has the defensive capability for weaken immunity to be useful against enemies like Calamary and Cli-One. Furthermore, he was one of the first anti wave units, making him useful besides just against aliens. A stage where he performs really well is Iberian Plains, as he can make use of all 3 of his abilities, being strong vs Aliens, weaken immunity, and wave immunity. Both enemies here are great matchups for him. Version 6.5: A New Alien Meta In Version 6.5, Cats of the Cosmos is released, along with starred aliens. Due to the existence of restriction stages, Akira’s first form has more situations where castaway (who now has his true form available) is not a viable substitute. However, with seafarer being a true formed unit, he has become even more useful, leaving little usage for first form Akira. Inferno Akira is generally less useful at this point due to overall stronger anti aliens like Bazibon, and wave immunes are more common. One situation where Akira’s first form was much more useful than seafarer was against Super Cosmic Cyclone. This enemy completely outranges seafarer. At this point, only cosmos 1 treasures existed, so you would fight a cyclone with at least 7.3 million hitpoints. Crowd Control was essentially necessary to win. Although Akira does shine here, it is just one stage in the grand scheme of things. Now that we have 3 chapters worth of cosmos treasures, the stage is a total joke and Akira has once again lost relevance. Version 8.1: The Second Coming of Akira, Blessed by Talents In 8.1, the second batch of talents were released. As you may have guessed, one of the units to receive talents was Akira. Akira’s talent lineup was a very special one in more than just the fact that it was good: It took the whole Dark Heroes gimmick of different forms being better at different things and threw it out the damn window. Akira’s True Form became an improved sum of all three of his forms. He gained 40% freeze against Aliens, 50% strengthen at 33% hp, 100% chance to survive a lethal strike, and standard attack and defense up. While the freeze is a lower chance than first form and the strengthen triggers at a lower health than second form, they are all in one form meaning you can make use of all the abilities simultaneously. Besides having the best parts of all his forms, talents add a 20% stat boost and guaranteed survive to his kit. Despite being a powerhouse against aliens, there are three main downsides: One of which is requiring very high investment. To this day, talents aren’t cheap. They require a large quantity of NP, which is only reliably obtained through a few methods, like rolling gacha or farming talent orbs (which weren’t added until 9.7, and they couldn’t even be farmed from gauntlets until 11.1). Akira needs multiple of his talents to stay relevant, with strengthen being the most important, freeze and stat talents at high priority, and survive at a medium priority. His talent lineup is also REALLY expensive to max, requiring 1055 NP for full investment. His second downside is not as major, which is being an overall subpar generalist unit. While Talented Inferno Akira has both great battle stats and crowd control potential against aliens, he has no other target traits. While not necessarily a bad thing, it just means that you won’t use him all that much in consideration of how much you invest in him. The third downside is that he is just too general within his niche. He is what I would call a “Jack of all trades, master of none.” He has the properties of an attacker and a proc unit, with good defensive stats. However, you can usually just bring a more specialized nuker for damage, tank or meatshield for defense, and a pure cc unit for reliable crowd control. Akira does still have solid stats, and he was a great anti Alien until powercreep grew past his strength. Version 9.7: The Revenge of Shadow Akira In version 9.7, a new uber banner was released, being wave busters. The set contains the wave busters exclusive Hell Warden Emma as well as some other ubers with anti wave abilities. Before the update, many of the ubers put into this banner required their true form to have wave immunity. However, PONOS made a change to all of those units where they could access wave immunity in their second form. Suddenly, Akira became a no-investment-needed wave immune unit that was viable in a majority of stages, and his second form even works better than untalented true form outside of aliens. He is a solid matchup against many wave enemies due to his 3 reposition opportunities and good standing range. He doesn’t have any particularly strong matchups being a pure generalist, but he does very well in floor 30 of heavenly tower against hermit cat. 12.1: Ultra Talents are released- Akira’s godly reincarnation Following the addition of dark catseyes in the previous update, we were given a new way to use them in 12.1, being ultra talents. For Akira, ultra talents are able to take him from a mediocre specialist unit to a top tier generalist. Let’s take a look at his ultratalents. First of all, he gains aku targeting. This gives him another target in which he is a great specialist. His second ultra talent is by far the most important, being surge attack. When the talent is maxed, he has a 100% chance to spawn a surge between 430 and 780 range. This does multiple things for him. For one, it gives him pierce. He can now hit backliner enemies with relative ease. Another thing this does is it increases his DPS. This doubles his damage per second over the interval of 0-780. While the full dps won’t always land in one spot, that amount of dps will land somewhere in that interval. A third thing this surge can do is cause a double kb. The surge usually spawns in a range in which knocked back enemies will get hit again, causing them to take double damage and possibly another damage knockback. This surge can also reapply his freeze effect. Akira has without a doubt improved tremendously from ultra talents. Sorry, I had to cut a lot out to fit it, and the essay isnt done yet and the charts and images cant go in a youtube comment.
how about you search for it in rbc, its there like 40 times. I'm only planning to rejoin fandom server to post it when I'm done, then I'm just leaving again.
Congratulations on beating Infernal 40! Just a warning from someone who had done everything so far. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE FLOOR 44! That stage alone gobbled up 17 of my leaderships just to beat it. Word of advice, anything that can Knockback angels is very good to have.
Some of the stages from Floor 41 to Floor 50 give you dark cats eyes, so it'll be a really good way to either get Ultra talents on your cats or the new Ultra forms
Sunny Neneko is the best unit to use the Golden Catfruit on. It gives her a 100% chance to crit and she has very good damage. Also consider giving her some catseyes.
Matt you should always make sure to make use of your empty slots, like research combos or more meatshields aswell, every slot in your lineup matters so it's better to make use of all of them
its crazy how he goes into a stage with the correct lineup and loses because hes on speed up, not spawning enough meatshields, but instead of slowing down the game, he just changes the line ups and wastes itmes. but oh well XD love ya shea
For real like i get that you use the permanent seed up from the pass tihng in grinding stages but it is so hard to stal properly with it lol. Multiple moments where hes just not spawning meatshield and just loses :/
@@SamLindskougMBGY Yes! i use M.eraser in almost every stage, and spawning him AS SOON as he's off-cooldown is very important on so many stages. stages where units like roe/soap work, however, are easy to use speedup with a lot of times
You have been my favorite youtuber for a long time now thank you for making videos and I was wondering what type of medical field thing u were studying for before u became a youtuber
Ultra form actually requires level 60, which is 25 uber rare or legend rare ctaseyes, and then an additional 15 dark catseyes. Then the ultra form also requires expensive upgrade materials like behemoth gems and gold catfruit, as well as an additional 2 mil xp. So far only 4 units have ultra forms, and they're all pretty good. The best one is Windy by far, and the second best right now seems to be kat-6-seige engine.
just some advice, taking the speed up off can really help sometimes especially when you need a constant flow of meatshileds. when you have the speed up on sometimes you don't send the meatshileds out right away and that little delay can cause enemies to break through your defense.
When you were on floor 32 and have spare unit space, i reccomend using cat combos, they do alot for you. Gl on 40-50 Matt! I legitmately thought one of the floors werent possible for a minute 😅
Hopefully you can get esoteric uril next week matt! I believe you can do it! He is so amazing with great range, health, cooldown, and extra stuff. So good luck!
It’s kinda tiring seeing you use nothing but the same few ubers in every stage, it would be great to see you experiment with using new ubers for a change.
Matt, Windy from the Galaxy Gals has the best Ultra form so far so invest in her. She also uses a gold catfruit. Also Week 2 of asking Matt to upgrade Bora.
Just some tips for floor 40 retries: The only way to properly* stall yulala is to use manic mohawk and spam him *perfectly* every time he comes off cooldown Naala and slaps get outranged by Yulala so they kinda suck on floor 40 That's pretty much it *what I mean perfectly is him not being able to advance at all, you can use other meatshields like manic eraser, cone, future, rock, manic lion, zamboney, egg pod and even jiagshi to help stall peons/stall yulala. Zamboney in particular is really good here
matt, spiritual yulala is a mainly used a rusher for relics, his LD is basically irrelevant, hes also a great 4 star M. Ost counter, outside of 4 star you can mainly used slapsticks instead
Glittering Macho is a good anti wave meat shield imo. The only other thing that needs a gold cat fruit right now is Ultra form windy, which is probably pretty far off for you. By the time there’s some future really good ultra form you’ll already get another from the tower next time
Divine Windy recently unlocked a 4th form, which is expensive (requiring a gold catfruit) but in return makes her one of the best snipers / nukers against floating, with 510 range, around 130 thousand damage and insane damage to floating, making her deal around 800k damage to floating from afar. Defiantly the best thing to use a gold catfruit on for now. Edit: just checked the wiki and it also adds attack frequency and movement speed but the downside is that you have to get her to lv 60 before your able to evolve.
Me when Matt uploads a 20 minute battle cats video: yay, another battle cats video! Let's go! Me when Matt uploads a 30 minute battle cats video: Oh nice! Even more great content to watch! Me when Matt uploads a 45+ minute battle cats video: LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!
Dear Matt. I don't really know if you know this but cactus cat is a very good aku meatsheild that is immune to surge like an aku ramen cat. Also awesome vid keep it up cant wait for you to try to get to floor 50.
Matt you should really upgrade your superfest units as if you got your dark kasli to 50 or 60,same with darktanyan, they are even more of beasts! Overall though i love your content and have been watching since i saw your first battle cat video on holiday when i was 10 lol
Ultra forms for ubers require level 60 along with some behemoth stones. In total, that's 25 uber rare catseyes, 15 dark catseyes, millions of xp and your behemoth stones that you could be spending on eggs. In addition, you'll want to spend a few hundred np into the talents for that unit, since it's so boosted, so currently the cost for an ultra form is kinda ridiculous with so few dark catseyes being available. To be fair though, it seems like at least Windy's 4th form is almost worth it, doing over 1.3 million damage to floating PER HIT with her strengthen and attack up talents. Also, if you want some good ubers to seed track for that aren't superfest units, I would suggest looking for Pai-Pai, R.E.I and Sirius.
Matt did you know in the next update there will be a new legend rare upcoming with a unique skill that can summon spirit. Also im looking forward for you first ultra form. Who would it be? Who knows ahaha
At level 60 you can get windy's ultra form (assuming you have her) for 2 green gems, 5 yellow stones, and a gold catfruit, with all talents maxed out she can achieve over 1.4 million damage a hit when strengthened.
@@kaydenyap2539the comment section is for sharing what you like about the video, nobody has to ask for you to be able to comment. Also saying who asked makes you sound stupid.
All these years, matt still doesn't meatshield (I am referring to only having 2 meatshields in stages such as IF32 where there are fast high damage pushers, that can only be stalled by meatshield spam (or status effects but yaknow..))
Yo Matt You Must Get Windys Ultra Form Because It Makes Floating Enemies ABSOLUTELY IRRELEVANT Because It Makes Windys Massive Damage Against Floating Into Insane Damage Thus Increasing The Damage By And Incredible Amount
16:46 if u want to pretty much freeze/slow than just seafarer instead of the combo because u can slow and frees at the same time and than use the extra slot for fish man or smth he anti floating and the only 2 cyclones that aren’t floating are angel and Aku (Maybe relic)
Use your gold cat fruit to evolve windy to her 4th form but it’s rly expensive as well as the gold cat fruit, you also have to have her at lvl 60 but she becomes by far the best anti-floating in the game, like 10 times better than saber
it hirts seeing matt no using dark kasli as much as she is the best uber in the game.If you try she can counter aku reindeer very well as well as most of the manics. It also hurts seeing her is not lv.50.
Matt could have put in the windows error screen: “Multiple errors detected on the windows system, many of which are because of AAAAAH.” But Matt chose not to.
Love your vids and also I kinda hate how you don’t use most of you special cats but not in a mean or bad energy way I love your videos a ton there is tons of cool cats like ultimate bun bun and filibuster I love how they work as real units also master Uril grandmaster and like every cat you unlock

Matt, 2 things with your ubers. Phonoa shouldn't be used on traitless stages, since his anti-traitless damage is quite poor, even though he melts traited enemies. Secondly, Black Zeus is a better anti-traitless than akuma. Akuma has a weird multi-hit that lowers his damage, while Black Zeus's long distance and high damage makes for a good traitless sniper unit. Even though akuma does more damage, Akuma usually rushes into backliners and dies, while Zeus stays alive much longer with his long distance.
The man doesnt level his Superfest units to 45 or 50 lol, if he knew how op Darktanyan and Dasli are around 45-50 then the game would be way easier for him. I mean shit his courier isnt 50 and his Ramen is still 30 with a bunch of plus levels 😂😂😂😂
Phonoa can easily be a useful unit for mixed traitless stages, even primarily traitless stages, his very high range and constant attacks make up for his poor sub 6k dps at level 45 on traitless. But yes, Matt has a few better choices for a replacement of phonoa. but by no means is he a bad choice.
Also he should use darktanyan instead of gao 9/10 situations
Guys like this comment mattshea needs to See this
@@Dominicthedonkey he's definitely a bad choice in floor 33 compared to black zeus. or kasli. or even just octopus

I’ve also been making my way through infernal tower (though much earlier than I should be I’m feeling). I appreciate your effort making this episode.
Floor 41 was a REAL pain, wishing you luck on getting to 50. I believe in you Matt!!!
Floor 41 was the hardest imo
For those not looking to cheese it, you pretty much NEED hyperboosted Fishman and Can Can.
@@jojidubi4 what are you talking about unless lv. 50 is hyper boosted you don't need that
Floor 41 is the hardest floor in the infernal tower in my opinion i had to use 20 RICH CATS ON ONE ANNOYING LEVEL but the other 9 are kinda easy if you have lasvoss
But on floor 50 i used xskull’s strat but i changed it a little bit
Someone should tell Mattshea that the “warp blocker” ability doesn’t block everything behind catellite from getting warped it just means immune to warps
I like how Matt never thinks of putting in more meat shields in his slot to stall the enemies better.
Meatshields can only get you so far because you need to do more offense overall to stop all your low cost meats to actually contribute
I remeber in his bun bun video he barely put any wall cats and said "we need a strong frontline"
It’s because he feels like it
I love Matt but sometimes he makes really dumb decisions
Like why would you use can can on floor 32 when it gets out ranged by most of the enemies on that stage
im glad he’s focusing on infernal tower, it will help him alot with the true forms (mostly Uril lol)
That’s true
If you have Windy, I’d suggest using a gold catfruit for her ultra form (4th form). Either that or wait for something better to come down the line to spend your gold catfruit on because the current options aren’t that worth it unless you have excess gold catfruit
what about lasvoss?

Akira: A Unit who is Once Again Relevant- A Dark Hero’s Journey (Preview)
An Introduction
As most of us are aware, Battle Cats has been out for over 10 years. With this, there have been changes in the way the game plays so it doesn’t become repetitive. Many of these involve increasing the power of our units. For example, True Forms generally give a unit better stats or a new use, catseyes can be used to increase the level cap, and Talents give units new skills if you invest in them. Unfortunately, with these ways in which you can improve your units, the difficulty of the game increased as well. If a unit received a bad true form and talents, it is easy for it to be lost in the old meta and unviable in the new one. Even some of the units who received great talents like Akira, the focal unit of this essay, eventually became redundant. With update 12.1 came a new method of increasing a unit’s combat potential, called ultratalents. Ultratalents are a super-high investment form of talents that can drastically change how usable a unit is. Let's see how it changed Akira.
Version 4.0: Akira is added
In version 4.0, Akira and the other 2 ubers in the dark heroes banner at the time were added to Battle Cats, along with Into the Future, Alien enemies, and other anti Alien units. At this point, Akira was one of five units built specifically to counter the new Alien trait.

The ability to completely stop the movement of an enemy half the time with high uptime is a very strong ability, especially for a trait that has few counter units. Unluckily for Akira, another unit with freeze against Alien was added in the same update: Surfer Cat. Whereas surfer cat only has a 30% chance to freeze aliens from a shorter range, he has the benefit of being cheap with low cooldown, allowing the player to stack him and have overall more consistent procs when you have multiple. Akira’s weaken immunity doesn’t do much in this form either. As a proc unit, he isn’t built for damage. However, he does have his advantages over surfer/castaway and some good matchups.

They are all backliner enemies, and backliners are what the alien trait is notorious for. Two of them have the freeze ability, so when they are frozen they cannot freeze your melee units. The last one, Ursamajor, is a strong backliner enemy who is capable of pushing fast.

This time, he obtained strong vs alien and wave immunity. With this true form, he finally had good combat stats against his target trait, with 127k hp and 8.7k dps at level 30.

A stage where he performs really well is Iberian Plains, as he can make use of all 3 of his abilities, being strong vs Aliens, weaken immunity, and wave immunity. Both enemies here are great matchups for him.
Version 6.5: A New Alien Meta
In Version 6.5, Cats of the Cosmos is released, along with starred aliens. Due to the existence of restriction stages, Akira’s first form has more situations where castaway (who now has his true form available) is not a viable substitute. However, with seafarer being a true formed unit, he has become even more useful, leaving little usage for first form Akira.

Although Akira does shine here, it is just one stage in the grand scheme of things. Now that we have 3 chapters worth of cosmos treasures, the stage is a total joke and Akira has once again lost relevance.
Version 8.1: The Second Coming of Akira, Blessed by Talents
In 8.1, the second batch of talents were released. As you may have guessed, one of the units to receive talents was Akira. Akira’s talent lineup was a very special one in more than just the fact that it was good: It took the whole Dark Heroes gimmick of different forms being better at different things and threw it out the damn window. Akira’s True Form became an improved sum of all three of his forms. He gained 40% freeze against Aliens, 50% strengthen at 33% hp, 100% chance to survive a lethal strike, and standard attack and defense up. While the freeze is a lower chance than first form and the strengthen triggers at a lower health than second form, they are all in one form meaning you can make use of all the abilities simultaneously. Besides having the best parts of all his forms, talents add a 20% stat boost and guaranteed survive to his kit. Despite being a powerhouse against aliens, there are three main downsides: One of which is requiring very high investment. To this day, talents aren’t cheap.

In version 9.7, a new uber banner was released, being wave busters. The set contains the wave busters exclusive Hell Warden Emma as well as some other ubers with anti wave abilities. Before the update, many of the ubers put into this banner required their true form to have wave immunity.

He doesn’t have any particularly strong matchups being a pure generalist, but he does very well in floor 30 of heavenly tower against hermit cat.
12.1: Ultra Talents are released- Akira’s godly reincarnation
Following the addition of dark catseyes in the previous update, we were given a new way to use them in 12.1, being ultra talents. For Akira, ultra talents are able to take him from a mediocre specialist unit to a top tier generalist. Let’s take a look at his ultratalents. First of all, he gains aku targeting. This gives him another target in which he is a great specialist. His second ultra talent is by far the most important, being surge attack. When the talent is maxed, he has a 100% chance to spawn a surge between 430 and 780 range. This does multiple things for him. For one, it gives him pierce. He can now hit backliner enemies with relative ease. Another thing this does is it increases his DPS. This doubles his damage per second over the interval of 0-780. While the full dps won’t always land in one spot, that amount of dps will land somewhere in that interval. A third thing this surge can do is cause a double kb. The surge usually spawns in a range in which knocked back enemies will get hit again, causing them to take double damage and possibly another damage knockback. This surge can also reapply his freeze effect. Akira has without a doubt improved tremendously from ultra talents.
Sorry, I had to cut a lot out to fit it, and the essay isnt done yet and the charts and images cant go in a youtube comment.
I ain’t readin’ allat
You stole this from some guy on the Xskull's Discord server lil ro
no, i wrote it lol
Post that shit into Public Battle Cats Fandom in essays
how about you search for it in rbc, its there like 40 times. I'm only planning to rejoin fandom server to post it when I'm done, then I'm just leaving again.
Friendly reminder that Phonoa is anti traited, so it’s better to bring other ubers in stages that have traitless enemies as major threats
Congratulations on beating Infernal 40! Just a warning from someone who had done everything so far. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE FLOOR 44! That stage alone gobbled up 17 of my leaderships just to beat it. Word of advice, anything that can Knockback angels is very good to have.
Man I love Mattshea, I feel a rush of joy every time I see that he posted a new video
Some of the stages from Floor 41 to Floor 50 give you dark cats eyes, so it'll be a really good way to either get Ultra talents on your cats or the new Ultra forms
Sunny Neneko is the best unit to use the Golden Catfruit on. It gives her a 100% chance to crit and she has very good damage. Also consider giving her some catseyes.
Matt you should always make sure to make use of your empty slots, like research combos or more meatshields aswell, every slot in your lineup matters so it's better to make use of all of them
I cannot express how much i love and appreciate your battle cats videos Matt. As always great video and I hope you keep making these.😃😃😃
its crazy how he goes into a stage with the correct lineup and loses because hes on speed up, not spawning enough meatshields, but instead of slowing down the game, he just changes the line ups and wastes itmes. but oh well XD love ya shea
For real like i get that you use the permanent seed up from the pass tihng in grinding stages but it is so hard to stal properly with it lol. Multiple moments where hes just not spawning meatshield and just loses :/
@@SamLindskougMBGY Yes! i use M.eraser in almost every stage, and spawning him AS SOON as he's off-cooldown is very important on so many stages. stages where units like roe/soap work, however, are easy to use speedup with a lot of times
You have been my favorite youtuber for a long time now thank you for making videos and I was wondering what type of medical field thing u were studying for before u became a youtuber
I used your lineup to complete level 40, it worked pretty well. Replaced some units that seemed useless to make it easier.
Ultra form actually requires level 60, which is 25 uber rare or legend rare ctaseyes, and then an additional 15 dark catseyes. Then the ultra form also requires expensive upgrade materials like behemoth gems and gold catfruit, as well as an additional 2 mil xp. So far only 4 units have ultra forms, and they're all pretty good. The best one is Windy by far, and the second best right now seems to be kat-6-seige engine.
Floors 41-50 were incredibly difficult. I wish you the very best for them. Uril TF makes it worth it though. You get 6 Darkeyes as well.
Finally, a good binge worthy video!
Matt you ever think of replaying stick rpg2? One of my favourite pieces of content you ever made.
just some advice, taking the speed up off can really help sometimes especially when you need a constant flow of meatshileds. when you have the speed up on sometimes you don't send the meatshileds out right away and that little delay can cause enemies to break through your defense.
When you were on floor 32 and have spare unit space, i reccomend using cat combos, they do alot for you.
Gl on 40-50 Matt! I legitmately thought one of the floors werent possible for a minute 😅
Hopefully you can get esoteric uril next week matt! I believe you can do it! He is so amazing with great range, health, cooldown, and extra stuff. So good luck!
Hey tip if u already cleared a lv u can double tap cat to skip put on treasure radar for the guaranteed chance to get the treasure
Always great when mat posts
You’re doing great Matt would love to see you do 40-50 cheers
It’s kinda tiring seeing you use nothing but the same few ubers in every stage, it would be great to see you experiment with using new ubers for a change.
Especially since some of those same Ubers don’t always work against everything, that’s why the game is based on trial and error
Matt, Windy from the Galaxy Gals has the best Ultra form so far so invest in her. She also uses a gold catfruit. Also Week 2 of asking Matt to upgrade Bora.
It hurts me when he doesn't put Future Cat into his loadout as a Anti-Relic, and Anti-Metal Meatshield.
how??
Just some tips for floor 40 retries:
The only way to properly* stall yulala is to use manic mohawk and spam him *perfectly* every time he comes off cooldown
Naala and slaps get outranged by Yulala so they kinda suck on floor 40
That's pretty much it
*what I mean perfectly is him not being able to advance at all, you can use other meatshields like manic eraser, cone, future, rock, manic lion, zamboney, egg pod and even jiagshi to help stall peons/stall yulala. Zamboney in particular is really good here
good to be the early bird of the great, popular content creator
matt, spiritual yulala is a mainly used a rusher for relics, his LD is basically irrelevant, hes also a great 4 star M. Ost counter, outside of 4 star you can mainly used slapsticks instead
Glad to see hes back doing infernal tower.
Glittering Macho is a good anti wave meat shield imo. The only other thing that needs a gold cat fruit right now is Ultra form windy, which is probably pretty far off for you. By the time there’s some future really good ultra form you’ll already get another from the tower next time
Divine Windy recently unlocked a 4th form, which is expensive (requiring a gold catfruit) but in return makes her one of the best snipers / nukers against floating, with 510 range, around 130 thousand damage and insane damage to floating, making her deal around 800k damage to floating from afar. Defiantly the best thing to use a gold catfruit on for now.
Edit: just checked the wiki and it also adds attack frequency and movement speed but the downside is that you have to get her to lv 60 before your able to evolve.
gold catfruit is very inexpensive
the stupid fucking 15 dark catseyes however
i thought it was 10?@@CourierCat-2
edit: yeah i'm a dumbass nvm just checked wiki
Hey matt just wanted to let you know that I love your battle cats content and I hope you get to 4 million
This is awsome :)
Thank you!!
Me when Matt uploads a 20 minute battle cats video: yay, another battle cats video! Let's go!
Me when Matt uploads a 30 minute battle cats video: Oh nice! Even more great content to watch!
Me when Matt uploads a 45+ minute battle cats video: LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!
WAKE UP MATT POSTED
Battle Cats with MattShea = Joy and Happiness
Relatable
real
True
I agree
Fax
Idk why but watching this man Matt play battle cats just makes me so happy and at peace 🤣🙏🏽
Matt please try PvZ heroes!!! It is SO much fun and its a great mobile game
Just a tip : if you see the enemies and see "reward available " press on it to see the reward
Dear Matt. I don't really know if you know this but cactus cat is a very good aku meatsheild that is immune to surge like an aku ramen cat. Also awesome vid keep it up cant wait for you to try to get to floor 50.
Matt you should really upgrade your superfest units as if you got your dark kasli to 50 or 60,same with darktanyan, they are even more of beasts! Overall though i love your content and have been watching since i saw your first battle cat video on holiday when i was 10 lol
congrats matt on beating spirit yulala, if you are wondering which ultraform you should I would recommend windy for a certain boss in UL
He already beat uL in July my guy
As soon as i beat floor 50 of the infernal tower matt made the video literally right after I beaten it
Every time matt releases a new battle cats video i start foaming from the mouth and i go on rampages looking for prey to skin and eat.
Zamn
29:19 I feel like phobia is hard carrying this man rn lmao
*phonoa
*phobia
Congratulations! I just finished Floor 50 🤣 - Esoteric Uril is worth the effort though. Highly recommend full effort just to get him.
It is very surprising he made it this far I’m very glad for you
The ultra forms are exclusive to windy, dioramos, nobunaga, and mighty Kat-a-pult
The arrow placement on the thumbnail is quite comedic :)
Oh, 47 minutes? That's a pretty THICC video.
Ultra forms for ubers require level 60 along with some behemoth stones. In total, that's 25 uber rare catseyes, 15 dark catseyes, millions of xp and your behemoth stones that you could be spending on eggs. In addition, you'll want to spend a few hundred np into the talents for that unit, since it's so boosted, so currently the cost for an ultra form is kinda ridiculous with so few dark catseyes being available. To be fair though, it seems like at least Windy's 4th form is almost worth it, doing over 1.3 million damage to floating PER HIT with her strengthen and attack up talents. Also, if you want some good ubers to seed track for that aren't superfest units, I would suggest looking for Pai-Pai, R.E.I and Sirius.
Matt did you know in the next update there will be a new legend rare upcoming with a unique skill that can summon spirit. Also im looking forward for you first ultra form. Who would it be? Who knows ahaha
At level 60 you can get windy's ultra form (assuming you have her) for 2 green gems, 5 yellow stones, and a gold catfruit, with all talents maxed out she can achieve over 1.4 million damage a hit when strengthened.
Aaaaye first also amazing video❤
Almost blocked you but your pfp is too modest to be a scammer lmfao
man you are funny i think im the only one who doesnt like you going broke but cant stop watching😂
Mattshea is my favorite youtuber and please post batle cats more often
The fact that Matt struggled even WITH Phonoa is remarkable
Btw matt in floor 33. You could just use your latest legend rare you got. He is very useful with those kind of level. Try it for once
Day 2 of saying this, matt, you should really get miko mitama, her immunities and abilities make her one of the best deffers in the game!
27:42 yes I love the luga family
who asked
@@kaydenyap2539the comment section is for sharing what you like about the video, nobody has to ask for you to be able to comment. Also saying who asked makes you sound stupid.
do you love the luga family
All these years, matt still doesn't meatshield
(I am referring to only having 2 meatshields in stages such as IF32 where there are fast high damage pushers, that can only be stalled by meatshield spam (or status effects but yaknow..))
I can't wait for 41-50. Good luck dude
Yo Matt You Must Get Windys Ultra Form Because It Makes Floating Enemies ABSOLUTELY IRRELEVANT Because It Makes Windys Massive Damage Against Floating Into Insane Damage Thus Increasing The Damage By And Incredible Amount
me watching him struggle and strategize so much, while I’m just sitting back and relaxing:
Finally another infernal tower video thank you Matt!
Finally more infernal tower content of battle cats!
16:46 if u want to pretty much freeze/slow than just seafarer instead of the combo because u can slow and frees at the same time and than use the extra slot for fish man or smth he anti floating and the only 2 cyclones that aren’t floating are angel and Aku (Maybe relic)
Use your gold cat fruit to evolve windy to her 4th form but it’s rly expensive as well as the gold cat fruit, you also have to have her at lvl 60 but she becomes by far the best anti-floating in the game, like 10 times better than saber
Wow man battle cats was MY GAME it had every legend rare and every Uber super rare but my phone got broken
yulala is a really funny name, and it's really strong. which is just hilarious.
Matt screaming:AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Gain more MP to put MP points into your unit talents And still remember To get more treasure radars as well.
Hey Matt, I hope you use cat combos. They are actually pretty good from my experience (just a tip) 👍
On floor 32 mat should’ve used mod meat shields…
Matt: what do you think can can
can-can: use phonoa
Matt: oh you naughty wonkus bonkus
Best TH-camr❤ I love the battle cats episodes and plants vs zoimbes keep it up man
You gotta start using piccolan passalan again for long range freeze that could help a lot. A
it hirts seeing matt no using dark kasli as much as she is the best uber in the game.If you try she can counter aku reindeer very well as well as most of the manics. It also hurts seeing her is not lv.50.
i grinded out 30-50 in 2 days, it was rough but glad i got alot of dark cat eyes from 40-50!
Love your content man, you probaly know wich one.
Or the Luga cats. I love those cats.
The thing this man dose to make us happy
Does*, correct it before they come...
Me: plays a video game
You guys: wow he works so hard
😆
@@TheMattShea your amazing work cures our boredom 🎉
@@TheMattSheabecause you make your videos very entertaining
@@TheMattShea i love ur content, i would watch u play battoe cats forever
Ultra Form is at lv 60 like Ultra Talents
You should get Nobunaga's Ultra form, it's really good
Matt could have put in the windows error screen: “Multiple errors detected on the windows system, many of which are because of AAAAAH.” But Matt chose not to.
Ultra forms are at level 60 and at the moment the only ones with them are: windy, diramitos, nobunga & mighty Kat-a-pult.
Gold cat is a really good wave immune meatshield, I would 100% use a gold catsuit on him.
You do realize that you can turn off the speed up, right? It makes most stages a lot easier.
Mattshea is such a comfort watch for me now for whatever reason
MAN WAKE UP MATTSHEA IS HERE
HE POSTED BATTLE CATS
Matt to make the relics cyclone easier, use rodeo because he can slow the relic cyclone
hey matt! the first ultra form you should probably get is dragon emperor dioramos's. makes him basically better then ur anti angel legend rare.
"I need something that's fast and has area attack" - puts in metal macho and jagando, completely forgetting about courier
Love your vids and also I kinda hate how you don’t use most of you special cats but not in a mean or bad energy way I love your videos a ton there is tons of cool cats like ultimate bun bun and filibuster I love how they work as real units also master Uril grandmaster and like every cat you unlock
Yeah I could probably bring a little more variety to these videos. I just stick to what I know best most of the time :)
@@TheMattShea and it works well but I just wish you would use iz/dark
